This deserves attention...

In my mind this protest sets a dangerous precedent. In essence the SEIU has declared banker's homes, and families to be fair game. Do they not see how this could go wrong?

What would have happened if a neighbor, or worse a member of the banker's family, had decided to confront the protesters a la Gran Torino

In my previous post I bemoaned the "militarization" of civil authority. Now I'm going to go the other way and ask, where was the damn calvary?

There is a line in Slaughterhouse 5 that I have used in my posts about Iraq that goes "Those who have seen the elephant rarely go looking for it."

"Seeing the elephant" is a euphimism for combat, the idea being that any veteran "worth his salt" will be anti-war.

That's all well and good for physical warfare but what about class warfare?

Do we really want to find out?

Sometimes you have to destroy the village to save it.

But it absolutely MUST be creative. There's nothing worse than an unimaginative firebombing.
